Christmas Activities Advent Calendar: Week 3

On Saturday the 14th we took a trip to Seattle to do some Christmas shopping, so I couldn’t help but including this in our advent calendar. I mean, I am a girl after all. I ended up getting some goodies at Victoria’s Secret.

Day 15 || Make Christmas cards for each otherI had fun with this. These homemade gems are much better than any you can find in the store! We decorated cards for each other, wrote mushy sentiments inside and then gave them to each other when we were finished.

Day 16 || Watch Charlie Brown ChristmasThe Charlie Brown Christmas special is too adorable not to watch at Christmas time. Plus, it’s a great way to hear what Christmas is all about :)

Day 17 || Hot chocolate + Christmas music + drive around and look at lightsThis is my favorite Christmas date! I love driving around and looking at Christmas lights, it’s so relaxed and sweet. I would have loved to do it every night if my hubby would have let me :)

Day 18 || Bake a festive treatThese cookies were delicious!

Day 19 || Watch White ChristmasThis was a cozy Thursday night, snuggling with the pups and watching White Christmas, an old Christmas movie starring Bing Crosby. I had never seen it before, and wanted to because I love those old crooners. Glad I added it to our calendar!

Day 20 || Visit our very own little Christmas townThis is Leavenworth, WA, a town we live very close to. The town is themed to be a Bavarian village, and in December they host the Christmas lighting festival. All of the shops and trees are decked in beautiful Christmas lights that get turned on all at once during the lighting. Pictures never do it justice, but it is so magical.
